Hi, I would like u to tell me if my current power supply will by enough to power up new system.
To start with, my power supply is Thermaltake Smart SE 530W.
My current system consist of:
Asus H61MD motherboard
i5 3330 @ 3.2 Ghz stock cooler
2x 4gb crucial 1600mhz
SATA III 7200 RPM HDD
GTX 970 MSI Gaming X
I bought my power supply along with gtx 970 in 2k15. Other parts were bought in 2k14.
My new system will consist of:
I5 8600k @ 4.5 Ghz(If i am able to get proper temps) with BQ pure rock or SPC Fortis 3 cooler
Z370 Krait Gaming motherboard from MSI
2x (Later plan on getting 2x more) 8GB 3000 MHZ CL15 Trident-Z memory
240 GB SSD (I am thinking about either Crucial or LiteOn Mu 3) SATA III
SATA III 7200 RPM HDD
GTX 970 MSI Gaming X (Possibly overclocked)
2x 120mm fans on corsair carbide 275R (Later may upgrade to RGB fans)
As for connected usb devices
GX57 gaming mouse
RX 55 gaming keyboard (I plan on changing both later on)
Razer kraken 7.1 headset
And my phone (Sony Xperia XA1) which currently does as an ethernet card since mine got broken.
And possibily up to 2 more (External Hard drive and tablet)
According to https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator my estimated Load ussage will be at 500W and recommended psu wattage is 550W. I am planing on spending up to a 100 dollars (350-400 PLN since I live in Poland) And only reasonable Power Supply at this price is "SilentiumPC 650W Supremo FM2 Gold" for 365 PLN (around 98 dollars)
So again, will my psu hold?
If not, then is buying 650W for this system good enough?
All the possible upgrades that I haven't written would be getting an audio card or possibly intel optane (if it's worth)
I also plan on upgrading my gtx 970 to 1160/70 or so. Based on the new nvidia cards performance. If I can get a card with 150%+ performance of my current at resonable price (Up to 1500 PLN ~400 dollars) then I will upgrade it.
And obviously as for what do I use my PC. Gaming/Video editing / Game maps creating/rendering. Sometimes up to 16 Hours when I have some free time. More likely 4-8 hours daily.
And lastly my old case had almost none air-flow(only fans were cpu and gpu)
My hard drive was reaching 45 Degree until i moved it down (Had to buy new cable) now it rearely gets to 40.
Yet my cpu with cleaned cooler and fresh paste wasn't going over 70-75 and GPU wasn't going over 81 with full load at stock (I didn't clean it inside, change paste or termo-pads, but I plan on doing that while assembling new PC)
Questions:
With my current psu will I be able to resonably overclock my GTX 970 and i5 8600K?
(Haven't got it yet, plan on overclocking it to 4,5 GHZ if i am able to get lower than 85 in full load)
And is there a point in possibly only changing motherboard/ram/cpu/case for now and sticking to stock cpu and gpu, and buying cooler/ssd and new psu later on, or will my psu not hold it?
